[QUOTE="Jackie0022, post: 2074507, member: 505710"] Thanks for all this information, it is useful reading actual people going through experiences rather than just reading from the websites. A lot of the confusion comes from the fact that when the results first came back as type 2 the nurse said that I wasn’t producing enough insulin so another test had to be done, result still came back the same. Then 6 weeks later I see the diabetic doctor and he tells me that I’m insulin resistant and producing too much insulin? (Which is it??). Because of this the wanted to take me off the insulin and onto gliclazide but that may not work as was equivalent to the amount of insulin I was injecting and the metformin wouldn’t be strong enough so WHY 6 weeks after telling me that do they want to put me into metformin and off the insulin??? The diabetes needs to be under control before they will change my other meds to methotrexate but I’m worried that the metformin on its own will imbalance the diabetes and put me back to square one. Do I try this and just not think about the other meds for now?? If the metformin doesn’t work then try something else then possibly back on insulin anyway? Or stick with the insulin because I know it works and starts the other meds then if they stabilise the psoriasis then think about coming off insulin? I have so many doctors, consultants and nurse all telling me something slightly different and not communicating amounts themselves?? The good thing is that I phoned my surgery to make an app with the diabetic nurse and when I explained to them that the hospital has just referred me back to the surgery they pulled my GP app forward so am seeing him next week. It’s all happening too quickly and I have so many questions. It only because of the diabetes that they have noticed that I have out run the time span on the cyclosporin and that’s why they need to change to methotrexate. I’m almost tempted to stop the insulin just to see what happens!! [/QUOTE]
